Taking center stage in front of the fireplace is a gleaming Henry dining table with an Andes granite top and bronze base from Egg Collective. It's surrounded by vintage chairs upholstered in Pierre Frey's Palmarola. Drake filled niches with books, turning the spines of all but a few toward the wall: "It's more provocative that way."

Above a Robert Kuo console, a moody David Mann painting, Between II, picks up the green of the dining chairs. The lamps from Paul Schneider Ceramics reference the pattern of the wallcovering in the foyer.
